Thoughtful teachers work with the constant tension between accepting the limits of their influence and the drive to find a way to overcome the factors outside a school's control. You succeed when you free yourself from rigid policy and rules. You don't can't find the solutions to out of school factors if you think you are the only decision maker. Every successful attempt I had overcoming out of school factors hampering learning came about because the student worked with me to create the solution. I'll add that I feel like there were more failures than successes.Alan Stangehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18195859621804402229noreply@blogger.com
